Followed closely by another sister unit, 4-SUB class 405 suburban unit number 4288 (built at BR Eastleigh Works in 1949) on a route 92 service approaches Clapham Junction in the rain on 23rd March 1981.

The culling of the class 405 fleet was undertaken over an eleven year period; the final units to go were those on the Central Division in September 1983, the last of the type operating in revenue-earning service on 6th of that month.
